DESCRIPTION

Based loosely on the 2003 animated film, Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo for Nintendo GameCube features characters, situations, and voice talents of the actor's from the movie. In this aquatic fish tale, players control Nemo, his father Marlin, and the absent-minded Regal Blue Tang fish Dory as they swim through the adventure collecting starfish (to unlock bonus levels) and shells (to increase one's score). Levels are timed, allowing players to focus on improving times, getting higher scores, and playing bonus levels.

During the game, the controllable characters encounter a variety of items and power-ups, including bubbles for trapping enemies, bubble (temporary) and red (permanent) rings for speed bursts, krill for protection, sea anemones (temporary invulnerability), and shell rings (shell score boosters). Featured enemies include electric eels, floating spiny sea slugs, hermit crabs, puffer fish, sea urchins, snapping clams, and squishes (jellyfish). Advancement from one level to the next requires meeting a specific goal, but each level also contains special challenges to earn extra starfish to unlock five new bonus levels (Luxo Ball, Pairs, Simon Says, Slide Puzzle, and Teamwork). ~ Michael L.
